Patrick,

I'd love nothing more than to keep it coming but, unfortunately, I have a week-long business trip coming up and several days of preparation to get done before next Sunday. It will take all the discipline I can muster to stay out of the garage and get my work done. So, probably not much to post in the near future.

Lippy,

I purchased the seat heaters from cobraheat.com (warmseats is the name of the product) and had them shipped directly to ERA. They inserted the pads in the seats (the pads can be cut to conform to the seat size) and the connectors come out the rear of each seat in the center. There is an upper seat back pad as well as a seat pad, so should be pretty effective. Peter makes a note on the work order for Doug to see and Doug screws the side panels on rather than riveting them in place so you can remove them to route the wiring. He even drilled holes, inserted grommets and suppled some rivets in a little zip lock baggie to put the side panels on! So, when finished, nothing at all will be visible. Doug will also give you a drawing with recommendations for mounting the controls under the dash using the supplied "L" shaped brackets. I chose to cut those brackets in half and use the half that the switches snap into and drill holes to mount them directly in the dash as you can see in the photo. There was a nominal charge for their part, but no big deal.

Regards,

Kevin
